DanTheMan_5 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I didn't get to see the game and I am curious how CJ looked running. Has he lost a step, or was the BAL D going all out to stop the run? Hopefully the play of Britt can open up some holes in the future.

Seahawks21 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) He looks like a guy that hasn't been in practice or playing games in some time. He's just a bit unsure of himself. He's not hitting the holes with any confidence, its like he doesn't trust what he's looking at. He did look a little better later in the game than he did early. Also, Ngata spent half the day in the backfield. I'm starting to think he is the most impactful defensive player in the NFL at the moment.

Scorcher Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It looked like the Raven plan was the stuff him and most of his runs were up the middle. Ringer got the TD because the ravens were clearly not exxpecting the run play. I think from here on out CJ will pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens management also agrees and just locked him in for the next 5 years at a pretty astronomical price. I don't think terms have been disclosed yet, but it's generally understood that Ngata will get at least $40M over the first two years. Wow! But so glad he's locked in.

Maybe he's not as great as we all thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawofmurphy Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) He looked like that at the end of last season as well. Maybe he's not as great as we all thought. Er. He totaled over 2,500 yards in 2009. I hope your argument is more "maybe he's lost a step" or something rather than "Yeah, it was all a fluke." I am willing to give him one more week to see where he's at. It's the Titans responsibility to get him into the open field. So at least it was good to see him get all the touches. Now it's a matter of him converting that into production. The Broncos have been subpar against the run so far, so if he struggles here, then he becomes much less trustworthy in my opinion.

ReturnToSender Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I watched the whole game, and the Raven, even in the end, were stacking the box has Hassleback rained passes all over them. I would give your 1-4th pick in your draft a little time. No better time than to buy on him either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
